Forum: GratefulDead Subject: Re: we all need acceptance...somewhere

If even you W;T. can't tell the difference between me and a "troll" ,then I rather quit the pushy scene ,as that was not why I wanted /accepted to talk with deadheads , after all these years . What kind of PM are you anyway, to allow such bullying towards me ? No wonders the girls don't want to relate to thi GD forum ! You want all to only talk about this show and that one and totally cop out on all other subjects with other deadheads ? Do clarify your real position if this forum is to jive only about this only and as I had not understood that , well, it was kind of nice to talk a while but the deadheads I 'd prefer are whole human beings capable to relate fine with me . I thought we all were ,sort of , working it out, but ,NO, getting insulted by guys I don't even has never been a reason to like deadheads . You might all be smarter than I about computers but I AM way more knowing on other matters . It seem almost worth the trouble with you all until I realized today ther will ayways be one more bully showing on your forum to insult me ,and that is NOT OK ! Who do you think you are to tell ME I should put up with it !!No deal ,either you restrain bullies from agressing me over and over , or I say adieu Guillaume Tell, Bubblebrew ,Jdingowlin,Jerrod Hunter, Garthus,MR the warworldsmith ,Direwolf ,High Flow Noise Collector,Time Traveller, Tacy Pooh,Guyzilla ,Billidions,Nagdot,DeadheadMonty,Bluedevil, and ouh, la,la, all the others I didn't even had the time to write their names ,etc,etc,etc .

Hmmm, you did change your mind didn't you? I have to ask, does "MR" in front of Rob's name really stand for what I think it does?

I did not change my mind. The post just really wasn't my style. I forgot, for a moment, that bashing my head against a wall doesn't solve anything.

I can't even bring myself to write it; don't think I've heard that since the second grade. I still cringe thinking about it--my dad would've smacked me upside the head so hard for using that term. Somehow it always stuck with me...

Well, off to find some fine MotM-->DS transitions my friend!

Okay, lets talk about WWII...I have many times. In fact, I am even on your side...

But, again, I would suggest take a valium or two and just blow it all off. It's not that important to be that upset about it.

Last, trust that PMs have no such power to control folks, neither in the real world, much less here.

You can even ask Earl--I tried a few times to force people to behave, but I was politely asked to stop.

Oh well, we're all on our own here. You and me alike--so sorry you took all my efforts the wrong way, but that's all I can do.

Semi-innocent query - do you usually write things the way you say them? I have a somewhat fetching and sexy Scottish accent - the envy of most of the miscreants around here - but I don't write with one. So why do you feel the need to write like a comic book foreigner at least some of the time? Maybe you do indeed say jglynn in that way in your head, but you can see that it isn't written like that. I'm just curious.

Your query got me thinking, Rob, and with your background, curious if you have any insights into what I call the "need for internal prounciation while reading phenomenon"...when reading, I find that an oddly spelled name which I cannot pronounce, greatly impacts my ability to read passages...my mind struggles with it each time, and I feel compelled to "say it" to myself or I cannot move on in the story. I've often thought I will just visually recognize it as a jumble of letters that stands for someone, but fail...I have to be able to "say it" to proceed.

The point I am stumbling over here is whether it is innate to the reading process that we be able to "talk it out" as we go...

Anyway, maybe just me...maybe not clearly articulated either, but there you have it!

Your experience is exactly similar to mine. If I come across a word that I don't recognise, and have no idea how to pronounce, it brings me to a grinding halt while I make up my mind what to do about it and how I'm going to handle it next time I see it. I will even, now and then, act out a gesture described by the author so I'm clear about what a character is doing.

I'm a slow reader anyway as my eye is apt to snag on anything unfamiliar, out of place or maybe misspelled (comes from years of proofreading). The whole notion of what's going on in our brains when we read is a fascinating one. If I type 'cat', for example, you see three familiar letter shapes on your screen, and you know what together they signify. but I'd be very surprised if a picture forms in your head even fleetingly of an actual cat. It's that ability to use signifiers that, I believe, truly places us apart from every other creature on the planet. If there's anything else around with a sophisticated system of symbology I'd love to hear about it.

In french language we do write same as we say,in english either the spelling of a written word can be different of the way it is said .Perso I had to learn hearing english with americans to then learn how to recognize also the written words It was not the scholarly stuffy way to learn a new language ,but it worked best ,as I learned in 6 months to understand amaricans and start to construct my speaking I admit that after 6 months I HAD to take about 20 live bilingual lessons for how to build a grammatical phrase Kids would learn foreign languages easiest that way ,maybe ?

You can call me Jim, or Jacques if that is more familiar.

Oh, and Rob, I would like more of the Scottish accent, it adds to the reading experience.
